This initiative falls under the defence and security regime, with a notable focus on ensuring compatibility with the existing infrastructure. The contract, valued at over £1.1 million with a net amount of £916,731, was awarded through a direct award method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons.

The procurement stage has transitioned from tender to award, reflecting a focus on goods within the defined industry category.

Businesses capable of meeting stringent technical requirements and integrating seamlessly with existing systems are particularly well-suited to such opportunities.
